Ron Enros’s concert selection (Chateauguay)

June 26, 2009 7:30 PM		Gary Burton Quartet Revisited with Pat Metheny, Steve Swallow and Antonio Sanchez Salle Wilfrid-Pelletier - PdA $72.50 - $62.0 - $52.50 - $42.50	ADD TO
	Pleins feux CBC Radio-Canada, LA PRESSE, Planète Jazz 91,9 Mon univers musical, 98,5 FM La puissance des mots, CHOM 97.7 The spirit of rock I saw Gary Burton with Steve Swallow and the quartet during the mid-1970s and was highly impressed by the evolved performance that he gave. Gary Burton popularized the use of four mallets on the vibraphone, extending the harmonic range and possibilities of the instrument. The original quartet was born from the Stan Getz Quartet, which I believe was the first gig for Burton, having started with Getz around 1963. An intellectual player, and highly gifted technically, Burton is always exploring. This is a concert not to be missed!
June 30, 2009 11:00 PM		The Bad Plus L'Astral (Maison du Festival Rio Tinto Alcan) $34.50	ADD TO
	Jazz au club CJAD 800 AM, 101,5 Radio-Montréal The Bad Plus is an incredibly tight improvisational trio, unafraid to depart from traditional jazz repertoire, yet still drawing on jazz techniques to create something wonderfully unique. Each player has a strong separate voice, yet the ensemble blends to deliver performances that are at once highly creative and yet very cohesive. This is post-modern jazz at its best. A must see!
July 1, 2009 7:30 PM		Jamie Cullum Special guest: Hilary Kole Salle Wilfrid-Pelletier - PdA $68.50 - $58.50 - $48.50 - $38.50	ADD TO
	Pleins feux CBC Radio-Canada, LA PRESSE, Planète Jazz 91,9 Mon univers musical, 98,5 FM La puissance des mots, CHOM 97.7 The spirit of rock I saw Jamie Cullum a couple of years ago at the Festival and he was an incredible performer! Very comfortable in both jazz and pop idioms and an excellent musician, he also had a great backing band. Certainly a treat and worth going to see!

July 2, 2009 8:30 PM		Buddy Guy / Susan Tedeschi Métropolis $44.50 - Sold Out	ADD TO
	Rythmes CKOI.com 96,9 FM, CISM 89,3 FM, Virgin Radio 96 What can you say about Buddy Guy? A veteran bluesman, who accompanied some of the greats of the blues, including Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, Little Walter, Sonny Boy Williamson and Junior Wells. He was a huge influence on Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton and Stevie Ray Vaughn and I guess that you can say that he was important in giving birth to the electric blues. He has just gotten better with time - an incredible voice, unbelievable technique, an ability to make his guitar speak, and a highly entertaining performer. And all while respecting the tradition and the intent of the blues. It just doesn't get any better than Buddy Guy.
July 3, 2009 7:30 PM		Tony Bennett Salle Wilfrid-Pelletier - PdA $124.50 - $94.50 - $84.50 - $74.50	ADD TO
	Pleins feux CBC Radio-Canada, LA PRESSE, Planète Jazz 91,9 Mon univers musical, 98,5 FM La puissance des mots, CHOM 97.7 The spirit of rock Tony Bennett is a great vocal artist, painter and incredible human being. His vocal interpretations are infused with a presence that draws the listener in, making the experience truly personal. A legend, he has just gotten better over the years. Like a fine wine....
July 3, 2009 10:30 PM		Lee Konitz with Minsarah Gesù — Centre de créativité $36.50	ADD TO
	Jazz dans la nuit Espace Musique 100,7 FM, CBC Radio2 93.5 FM Lee Konitz was one of the principle players responsible for the "Cool Jazz" movement, having played with Lennie Tristano and recorded with Miles Davis on the 1950 "Birth of the Cool" album. Over the years, he has evolved with jazz and is always exploring new styles, including avant-garde. It is a rare opportunity to see 60 years worth of jazz evolution in one player. This is certainly an important concert for the jazz aficionado to check out.
July 5, 2009 6:00 PM		Madeleine Peyroux Théâtre Maisonneuve - PdA $39.50 - $34.50 - $29.50	ADD TO
	En voix Musimax, CKOI.com 96,9 FM, RockDétente 107,3 Madeleine Peyroux has a wonderful voice, with an eclectic array of influences. Her appreciation of all forms of music translates to meaningful interpretations that transcend style. Certainly, one of my favorite vocalists!
July 6, 2009 6:00 PM		Jeff Beck Salle Wilfrid-Pelletier - PdA $129.50 - $99.50 - $84.50 - $69.50	ADD TO
	Pleins feux CBC Radio-Canada, LA PRESSE, Planète Jazz 91,9 Mon univers musical, 98,5 FM La puissance des mots, CHOM 97.7 The spirit of rock Jeff Beck is an important guitarist is the birth of the British blues rock movement of the mid-60s, having been one of the three guitarists with the Yardbirds, along with Eric Clapton and Jimmy Page. Beck also did seminal session work with other artists, such as Donovan, and headed his own groups, notably with Rod Stewart as vocalist. His playing has transcended the rock style, with forays into the jazz-rock idiom. Jeff Beck is a 60s era guitar god who has never ceased to evolve. A must see concert...
July 9, 2009 7:30 PM		Joe Cocker Salle Wilfrid-Pelletier - PdA $84.50 - $74.50 - $54.50 - $54.50	ADD TO
	Pleins feux CBC Radio-Canada, LA PRESSE, Planète Jazz 91,9 Mon univers musical, 98,5 FM La puissance des mots, CHOM 97.7 The spirit of rock Joe Cocker is the finest rock vocalist ever produced! His roots go back to the beginnings of the British blues rock movement, having toured with the Hollies and the Rolling Stones as an opening act during the early 60s. His first three albums are classics and Mad Dogs and Englishmen is one of my top ten favorite albums of all time. Cocker has survived changing musical styles over nearly five decades due to the quality of his interpretations, his exceptional voice and simply because he is that good!
